Zoo York : King Of New York

[Monkey_Mcpott]

That was sick

But why was there was legit premier for this 7 min clip??

[pile]

does chaz ortiz have a personal stylist follow him around and gussy him up before he skates? maybe a bodyguard too? how does he not get stuck when he's out there?

After watching I have determined... Westgate has an odd looking amazing nollie flip, Black Dave has an amazing front shuv, Ron Deily is still the man, and no one will ever care about Chaz Ortiz.

I don't know, I kinda liked steez ortiz lines in this new york web clip.

Had to throw that in here. Confusing mix of guys on Zoo right now..

Westgate killing shit as usual, doubt hes leaving zoo anytime soon as much as everyone wants him to..
Ron Deily had a ton of impressive shit, Con Ed banks trick was cool and nbd i think.
Black Dave has lots of pop i doubt many people notice that since he usually has alot of rail footy...that Front Blunt at Union Sq will probably go on to be criminally under rated considering very few tricks that arent boardslides have actual went down on that rail (Olson front lip in Pretty Sweet also impressive)

Really good quick video...Glad they didnt save it and try and make a full length, like people didnt complain about the songs zoo got for clearance..Interesting people didnt like the first song but hearing Jadakiss in a skate video is a nice change of pace..

I dunnoman...that whole shit felt suspect in every way.  

Sure, it had its moments here and there, but the impression that I left with is that these dudes are still yearning for/trying to bank off of a bygone era of their supremacy when it is pretty clear to me that 5boro/Bronze/Coda, and a whole host of other NYC-bred companies have collectively occupied that spot for the better part of the last decade.  At this point Europeans and OT guys are putting out better footage here...damn.

Edit just felt contrived and corny to me.  Bunch of spots that have been skated to death, and a motley crew of real talent and filler with a rappy soundtrack. And I would echo Tarela in saying it's dope to hear Jada in a skate video, but you don't get the stamp of approval simply for having him, Nas, and P on deck.

For real. Zoo consists of a creative and talented skater, a robot, a powerhouse everyone wishes they could skate like, and a few dudes no one wishes they could skate like.

This just made me rewatch everything Ron Deily has ever put out and i'm thoroughly impressed

Damn! I had never seen that part...Great stuff in there. That line at ABC ledges was so rad.

man, that was good. Not sure why I just now got around to watching it.

Watching this made me realise how shitty Zoo York would be without Westgate.
